WEYMOUTH – A Hanover woman was arrested in Weymouth when police said they found several uncapped syringes and two crack pipes in her car with her 4-year-old son inside.

Annette McClellan, 33, of 47 of West Ave., was charged with reckless endangerment of a child and possession of Class C and E drugs. When she was arraigned Monday in Quincy District Court, at which point a judge released her on her own recognizance on the conditions that she not have contact with the children and that she remain drug and alcohol free. She’s due back in court Sept. 20.

Police were called around 9:15 a.m. Friday to 111 Sea St. for a report of a man and woman in a car that were doing drugs with a child in the back seat, court records show.

When officers arrived, the car was parked on the side of the road, partially on the sidewalk. McClellan told the officers her car was disabled and asked for a tow truck to be called.

About an hour prior, police in Quincy received a call about a man and woman passed out in a 7-Eleven parking lot with a child in the back seat, court records state. Also, around 11 p.m. the night before, Weymouth Police were called to a restaurant parking lot on Bridge Street for a similar incident. Each time the car was gone before officers arrived.

Concerned for the safety of the child, police searched the car and found 14 uncapped syringes, two crack pipes, five clonidine pills, two gabapentin pills, a BB gun, a digital scale and two metal containers that looked as if they were used to “cook” drugs, court records state.

McClellan was placed under arrest and the boy was taken to a local hospital as a precaution.

Her car was towed away and the man she was with was not arrested.

A report about the incident was filed with the Department Children and Families.
